Hating

So I actually love this Norma Kamalibay all-in-one tunic, against my will — for years I’ve abstained from wearing patterns. But Norma Kamali is one of the few brands I’m a sucker for…

Wearing

Normally I pack three shades of the same silk jersey tank dress; now I can travel with one dress that styles into 30+ different versions (watch this YouTube vid to see how you style a Norma Kamali all-in-one dress). So choice.

Everyone from Donna Karan to late-night infomercials have pimped the minimalist chick’s dream: the wrinkle-free, all-in-one jersey dress.

Norma Kamali’s all-in-one dress is $24 at Walmart.com. Enjoy losing it in a hotel room…

Hating

I’m such a sucker for simple, draping shapes. So why the hate for this NormaKamalibay shawl collar coat? I’m having a hard time clicking buy, since I’ve had a similar shawl-collared wrap coat copied into three different colors: chocolate tropical wool, bright white cotton, and a blue sueded cotton.

Wait, you’re right — I don’t own it in gray terry yet…

Wanting

I almost only sport dresses less because I’m a prissy Krissi, and more because I’m a Kristopher: wearing one piece of clothing is easier. So I’m also a sucker for jumpsuits, though I don’t own many — most of them vibe too victim. But I dig this NormaKamalibay “Rectangle” jumpsuit’s kimono sleeves and slash neckline.

Should I just get it? Like every piece of the NormaKamalibay collection, it’s under $300…

Wearing

I love this jacket’s classic shape cleaned up and cushed out — it’s that tiny touch of puff that makes this NormaKamalibay sleeping bag jacket so choice.

I should wear less gray, but this Norma Kamali sleeping bag jacket drives me bananas, and Norma Kamali’s NormaKamalibay collection is exclusive to eBay…

Using

CovetShop.com is designer clothing consignment with eBay prices and Net-a-Porter.com gloss. Authenticity is guaranteed, and CovetShop.com calls their curated collection of second-hand, designer duds “pre-loved.”

Aren’t we all.

I love editing my closet almost as much as I dig choosing fresh pieces for it, so I’m selling clothing on CovetShop.com.

And no, this isn’t one of them…

Hating

I bought this T by Alexander Wang T-shirt dress when I was in New York last week.

What a waste of $85 — I wore it one day and it began pilling.

I’ll consider it a favor, though — I’m back to my uniform of custom silk jersey tank dresses and monogrammed shirt dresses. My brief experiment is over…

Hating

I stick to solid, simple clothes. Patterns are too memorable, and seem obvious compared to the subtle richness of textures and volume.

I’m a sucker for draped fabric, for dresses that hint at your body instead of acting like a second-skin –

But could this Richard Nicoll silk T-shirt dress be less flattering…

Wanting

I love this T by Alexander Wang T-shirt dress — it vibes like an oversized T, only it’s formed more flattering with slightly slouching shoulders and a boatneck instead of a crew neck.

As soon as this T by Alexander Wang T-shirt dress arrives, I’ll hit up International Silks & Woolens and get some silk jersey to have this T-shirt dress copied into…

Wearing

I’m over VOGUE‘ing, I’ve got no appetite for fleeting fashion. There’s little left to edit out of my closet: I only sport a silk jersey tank dress I’ve had made into a billion different colors, a hooded, shawl-neck coat in cotton or wool, and either an Hermes Kelly Danse or an Hermes Herbag (a Birkin’s boring). The only thing I’ve been lusting for, besides having a few more shirt dresses made, is a T-shirt dress I can copy into silk.

Unfortunately, it must be in this fashion to be over fashion, because everyone is pimping a silk T-shirt dress, including Urban Outfitters…
